Watonga Cheese Factory Watonga Cheese Factory prides itself in its 80-yr tradition to produce rich, handmade cheddar cheese. It was purchased in 2002 by Casey and Brandi Cowan.

Watonga Cheese Factory was founded in 1940 in Watonga, Oklahoma. Then in 2007 tragedy struck when a tropical storm brought 80-mile-an-hour winds and 9 to 11 inches of rain and the factory was destroyed. The City of Perryton, Texas offered incentives to the Cowans to rebuild there and the factory was re-opened in 2010. Watonga Cheese Factory still uses the same recipe and the same equipment that makes them stand out from the rest, and prides itself in its 70-year tradition to produce rich, handmade cheddar cheese full of flavor. In addition to producing all-natural cheddar cheese at it's location, the factory has a retail store where you can buy its mild cheddar, sharp cheddar, bacon cheddar, cheddar pepper, and onion cheddar cheeses. It also sells cheese curds (the freshest part of the cheese before whey is pressed out), along with approximately 50 different kinds of other manufacturers’ cheeses. During the cooler weather seasons, they will ship their products all over the United States.

🧀 Opened Your Cheddar? Wrap It Right!

A little care after opening helps keep your favorite cheddar fresh and delicious!

✔️ Wrap it in layers. Use wax or parchment paper first, then an outer layer of plastic wrap to help prevent drying.

✔️ Keep it refrigerated. Rewrap your cheese after each use and return it to the refrigerator.

✔️ Date it when you open it. Refrigerated cheddar blocks generally keep for 3–4 weeks after opening. Always follow the storage instructions on the package.

Now the hardest part… having any left to put away! 😉
